Yes, seriously, the Messages app can grow to be quite large, because the data contained in Messages can be everything from texts, movies, to pictures, of every single sent and received text messages, MMS, imessages, from the device.

This is particularly true if you send and receive a lot of multimedia messages.

Samsung does not warrant that the transfer steps described in this document will work without disruption or will always be available to you.

Apple says the new i Tunes focuses on music, movies, TV shows, podcasts and audiobooks.

As a result, apps for your i Phone, i Pad and i Pod touch are now exclusively available through App Store on those devices.

Otherwise, you will need to use Photo recovery software.

We will show you exactly how to get your “Other” space back from an i Phone, i Pad, or i Pod touch, though the precise cause of that Other size growing so large may differ from miscalculations and misreporting from i Tunes, to actual files on the i OS device taking up lots of space.

Connect i Phone to i Tunes (make sure you use the latest i Tunes 11) and follow the steps to install i OS 10, i OS 9/i OS 8/i OS 7/i OS 6 and recover i Phone data.

If you have i Tunes backup or i Cloud backup, restore your device data from the backup.

In this example screen shot, the Messages app was taking up 4GB, which shows up as “Other” in i Tunes: The easy solution to this is to simply delete the messages, the more you delete the more space you will recover.

In general, you’ll want to focus on removing the largest message threads with lots of pictures, movies, and photos that have been sent back and forth: If the resyncing and recalculating issue did not resolve it, then just trashing messages tends to do the trick for most users that use the Messages app, and it works universally on the i Phone, i Pad, and i Pod touch, though it usually has the biggest impact on the i Phone since that device is what is most commonly used for sending and receiving messages.
